All My Love

Well good morning my crafty friends.....hope you're all safe & well.

Are you enjoying the weekend? We had rain most of yesterday and  the grass

 seems to have grown at least 6 inches overnight!

Today's card  involves a fancy fold, lots of die cutting & the dreaded paper piecing!

To be fair I did quite enjoy it..........but won't be doing it again in a hurry!

The beautiful die cut panel is one of the Interchangeable Die sets available from

Crafter's Companion and there's some real good offers  over on the website

of you're interested. I used the 'Heartfelt' frame which comes with three different

sentiments -  'all my love', 'sending lots of love' and 'love you' .

Rightio, that's me for today......thanks for calling......stay safe.

Christmas!

Hello from a very wet, dull grey day!

Oh, I so love sitting at my desk when it's raining.....it feels so peaceful, calm

and quiet......I could sit here all day! Mind you, I hope it's dry tomorrow cos

2 of my boys are coming to cut the hedges!

So today I have another make using the interchangeable dies from 

Crafter's Companion only this time I used the celebrate sentiment to make a

Christmas card. No idea if this style of card has a name, I just scored & folded

& cut 'til I had a shape I was happy with.

Lots of my favourite distressed layers on this make, a little paper piecing and lots

of die cuts & paper flowers in my favourite frosty blues & white.

Rightio, think today's craft time is going to be used for cross stitching........do

you have anything planned!

Thanks for calling.....stay safe......see you soon.

Thank You

Good morning my crafty friends, hope you're safe & well this dull, grey morning.

Today's make is another using those fabulous interchangeable dies from

Crafter's Companion.

A different card fold for me this time.....I made an envelope style card where

the panel on the right can be written on the back and popped into the envelope.

I decorated the front of the envelope with some floral decoupage, lightly inked

the thank you panel just to give it a bit more definiton & I added seam 

binding just to make it easier to remove the panel.

I was woken by a knock at the door early this morning.....by the time I'd gotten out

of my chair and unlocked the door there was nobody there. No parcel left on doorstep,

no card through letterbox.....and they only knocked the once. Was starting to think I 

must have dreamed it but the dogs did bark so it must have happened. It was a bit early

 for 'business' type callers (not that I'm expecting any) and family & friends know it 

takes me a few minutes to get to the door so all a bit puzzling really.

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought but since

lockdown it's very rare that anyone knocks on my door! Oh well, I suppose if it's

important they'll come back.
